Topic: sapphire glass (Read 1001 times)

This beaker only measures 4 inches tall. I am thinking it is whitefriars but have not managed to see it in there catalogues.I have a much bigger mariott powell vase but do not know if this is part of the same range.hopefully i have described the colour correctly.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks for the info otis,looking at the heights in the catalogue links you posted they do not list a 4inch high version.have tried to take a better picture today but the swags at the top do not show that well.(bad workman allways blames his tools!)the blue colour in this beaker is a darker blue than the blue in my 10 inch high marriot powell vase.is this quality control or a different colourway?thanks again

Hi, the general rule of thumb is if you look down through the top the pattern is always six sided whatever the size of the vase.Not seen the 8743 wave ribbed tumbler vase catalogued in this size.So more likely to be a tumbler from a water set than a vase maybe?The colour if not sapphire could be Arctic blue?I think myself it is Whitefriars but probably from a water set.Chris

I must say i am a tad confused as i have never seen one that small or seen a water set in that pattern .I have seen thousands of Whitefriars collections over the years but never one of those . stummped jp.Hows your FINSK you must be an expert by now . Hope to see you both at Cambridge ,,,, not long now .

I'm also a tad suspicious of it being Whitefriars. The colour - whatever blue it may be - does not strike me a W/F blue colour. The "waves" seem a bit droopy to me too, and the size as Chris says is not one of the catalogued vases. Also like John have not seen a W/F water set for which it may be a tumbler.

Thanks to all members who replied to my posting, I'm confused.com.The glass does seem to have a w/f internal mould shape also the radius on the base seems to be a nice size.For what it's worth, here are a couple more pictures, the large vase is the 10 inch version.For johnphilip,probably wont see you at cambridge but will go to coventry.Thanks again.
